Hey guys. My name is Fernanda and I am 1 month post op of gastric bypass.

My family have been complaining about one thing in particular that I would like to know if happens or happened to any of you... After I get out of the toilet (after making poo) there is this terrible, terrible smell. Even if I just made a little bit. It's the most terrible smell of the house and in the past I didn't do it!

Does anyone here went through the same?? What can I possibly do to make my family not want to kill me? ???? like eating what...??

Sorry for the bad English!

You can buy these drops in wal mart; just one drop in the toilet before you go and there will be absolutely NO smell.You can find them in the toilet paper isle.

That's the trick to air freshener when you go!

You have to spray it into the toilet BEFORE you go!

Drops at Wal-Mart or on line are called "one drop" they really work. Co worker is allergic to air fresheners and we found these to help with our community restroom.

The original product used to spray in the toilet is called Poo-Pourri. It essentially creates a film on top of the Water that keeps the smell under the Water level....or at least minimizes it.

My husband has the most foul smelling poop after scent. It's just horrible and he hasn't had WLS. I've found sprays and drops just mask the smell. It's still there. The best thing I've found is to light a match and blow it out. The sulfur blocks the offensive smell.

I find a drop of peppermint essential oil can help with the smell.

Poopori! It is available online and in stores! It really works! I have used it for a couple years with success!

There is a youtube video for the Pooporri too. Watch it! Awesome!

I use Lysol at home. I don't know if it is really the reason, but with the change in bacteria in the gut, I'm thinking there is more bacteria, so I use Lysol for its antibacterial properties. Kills the germs, so to speak. Spray it in the bowl after. Unfortunately, it is just a side effect that I will probably always deal with. But it is worth it in my opinion.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
